Snowy Owl Harassed by Common Ravens
Snowy Owl being harassed by Common Ravens
By: Pat Coate
I recently sat in my car with the window down observing and photographing a snowy owl perched on its usual utility pole. I heard and saw a lone raven flying from the north, quorking (one of the common raven’s vocalizations) as it flew. The snowy owl seemed to hear the raven too as it immediately flew directly over my car and landed on the ground along the driveway at the gravel pits.
Another car drove into the gravel pit driveway spooking the owl which then flew off across the frozen quarry.
